6 Organizational Considerations 1. Key concern: centralized vs distributed data management 2. Most MBHOs have centralized data warehouses with input from multiple UM/Claims/Eligibility systems feeds • Advantages: standardized reporting used by multiple depts / ‘scrubbed data’ / tasks built around this data • Disadvantages: little flexibility for end-users / system downtime domino effect / complex QI processes 3. End-users still require own data ‘experts’ to access, set report parameters, QA and generate ad-hoc reports 1 2 3 4 5 6 H
7 Organizational Considerations 1. As a result, many companies use a combination of approaches-dedicated corporate data analytics departments and data analysts in field / regional offices: • 1 DA can support a large regional operation-usually reports to local executive, but can have dotted-line to corporate department • Corporate DA department size will vary - estimate 5-10 FTEs will report to CIO / Chief Clinical Officer for a large organization 1 2 3 4 5 6 H
8 Organizational Considerations 1. Common practice - develop local ‘one-off’ DBs to support UM process • Allows more timely ad-hoc analysis of acute care utilization data • Tracking of local program initiatives - how many IP diversions from admissions requests • Data doesn’t match centralized UM data, but should be close enough to be useful • IP days measured in month of admit or discharge 1 2 3 4 5 6 H
